A group exhibition titled “One Rose, A Thousand Worlds” opens at A2Z Art Gallery in Paris from February 12 to March 14, 2026, celebrating the 80th anniversary of the first French publication of Antoine de Saint Exupéry’s *The Little Prince*. Conceived with the Antoine de Saint Exupéry Youth Foundation, the show features 17 Asian and French artists—including Alain Delsalle, Shiori Eda, and Jihee Han—who reinterpret the tale through painting, sculpture, ceramics, and mixed media, focusing on themes of love, responsibility, exile, and memory.
The exhibition matters because it marks a major literary and cultural milestone—*The Little Prince* is one of the best-selling books ever, with over 300 million copies sold and 650 translations—and demonstrates how a classic text continues to inspire contemporary visual artists across cultures. By staging the show in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the historic neighborhood where Saint Exupéry once wrote, the gallery connects the book’s philosophical legacy with current artistic practice, reinforcing the enduring power of storytelling in the art world.
